Our Christmas House

The whirlwind of Christmas preparations are winding down. The shopping is done, the goodies will continue to be baked and consumed at a steady pace. I just finished my last handmade gift and most of the wrapping is done. We’re watching Christmas movies and listening to all the Christmas songs and even though it’s rainy and windy and miserable outside, we finally have a toasty fire going to keep us cozy and warm. Before I sign off for a few days, I wanted to wish each of you a peaceful and joyous holiday filled with love.

And some last minute Christmas decoration pictures, since I hadn’t gotten around to sharing them, and it’s now or never!

Mostly, I just decorate downstairs since that is where we spend the bulk of our time. The girls have a tree and nativity scene in their room and I put up a little vignette with some lights in my room, mostly so that I can fall asleep to twinkly lights. Our living/family room and kitchen are all one big open space and it makes it fun to have all the decorating flow across the living area (an amongst the sea of toys that typically adorn the floor). Graham came home from Home Depot on black Friday with 12 poinsettias, so we have an abundance of red this year!! You can also get some glimpses of my reupholstered couch which still isn’t totally finished – New Year’s resolution in the making! I found out that I had to return to placing all bagged gifts up on the cabinets and furniture again this year, not because the girls won’t stay out of them, but those darned cats kept climbing in them, chewing on them, and shredding the tissue paper!

Alrighty! I’m off to make some more caramel corn and see what fun Christmas movies are on tonight! Have a wonderful week!
